The ex-girlfriend of former Vegas Golden Knights owner Gavin Maloof has been ordered to cough up nearly $500,000 she swiped from his accounts, finally facing the music for the brazen heist.
Actress Jennifer Courtemanche, best known for her appearance in the FX show “You’re the Worst,” agreed to pay $444,648 in restitution to Maloof, the Daily Mail reports.
The former “Days Of Our Lives” star and her co-defendant, Brittany Burgess, pled guilty to a gross misdemeanor count of conspiracy to commit theft after pulling off a multi-year theft.
The alleged fraud was discovered after Maloof complained about receiving harassing text messages and photos from VoIP numbers. The numbers were then traced back to Courtemanche.
The robber duo also allegedly gained access to Maloof’s phone and authorized multiple Apple Cash transactions without his knowledge.
The cops said they stole the first bit of money – about $93,000 –– through Apple Cash in 2021.
The actress then allegedly took out another $275,000 the next year and $75,000 again in 2023, according to a criminal complaint by the Clark County District Attorney’s Office, 8 News Now reported last year.

Courtemanche took a major share of the heist money –– nearly $433,000 –– while her partner-in-crime only received $12,000, police said.
According to the news report, of the 214 separate questionable transactions, 144 were traced back to Burgess’ phone and she then funneled the cash back to Courtemanche.
The Canadian-born commercial print model and her pal plotted the scheme in December 2020, according to police.
In a series of texts to Burgess, she shared her happiness over Maloof’s single status and wanting to make a plan to escape her “poor” lifestyle. “OMG THIS IS IT he broke up with his [expletive] FINALLY and wants me to come out im not letting [redacted] or anythinggggg stop me this is my chance for BOTH of us,” Courtemanche had texted Burgess.
“I’ve been so down and out and POOR … we need to get the life weve always deserved no more struggling no more misery mental hospitals ERs etc lol,” her text read. Her bestie allegedly responded, “We need a plan.”
